Announcing: The HYDRA RELOADED Utu Bond Of Great Justice
Many of you will have watched and/or enjoyed the 8th Alliance Tournament that was recently broadcast directly into your homes using the marvels of modern technology.
Within these broadcasts, of hitherto unprecedented quality, you will have witnessed HYDRA RELOADED demonstrating their trademark skill, heroism and f*ggotry as they vanquished all before them in their sworn quest to acquire the grand prize.
That prize was 50 Utu-class war vessels, the like of which the universe has never seen before.
What will these conquering heroes do with such singular tools of devastation?
Clearly, the restless warrior hearts of these great men and women will not allow these fine ships to go unused. They will be wielded in glorious battle so as to humble or destroy all that stand against the mighty HYDRA RELOADED.
However, there are many within the ranks of HYDRA RELOADED that must be swiftly rewarded for the great deeds done and great sacrifices made to bring about this tremendous tournament victory and the HYDRA RELOADED war chests must be replenished. For this reason, the great HYDRA RELOADED overlords have decreed that a limited number of these vessels will be made available for warriors and collectors outside of HYDRA RELOADED in exchange for other wealth and treasures.
Of course, such transactions take time to prepare and execute so I have been authorised to make arrangements for what will be known as ôThe HYDRA RELOADED Utu Bond Of Great Justiceö.
This grand instrument of finance will allow HYDRA RELOADED to fill its coffers swiftly and thereby allow us time to carefully select the fortunate beneficiaries that will be receiving the few Utu-class war vessels that will feel the touch of outsiderÆs hands.
Further information regarding this investment opportunity will be made available once the vessels are in HYDRA RELOADED's possession. You may ask questions or state your interest here if you wish.

Originally by: Keyser Kahn One little bit of information that would have been neato - who is the bond for?
Did I not mention it? Sorry, it's for HYDRA RELOADED! I probably should have made that clearer.

Originally by: Taram Caldar Depending on interest rate and particulars I'd be interested.
Originally by: Hel O'Ween interesting endeavor, but a bit sparse on details.
More details will be provided soon(TM).
Feel free to ask questions and I will answer them if I have a concrete answer now, if not then they will be answered in the bond thread when we launch it. We have to wait for CCP to give us the ships first, because they have a reputation for taking a very long time to deliver this kind of thing.

Originally by: Ambo Can't I just buy one?
Will offer 15 bil.
We will be selling a very small number of them in order to repay the bond principle and interest. The rest we will be doing very, very stupid things with in 'normal' PvP and in future alliance tournaments.
Originally by: Ambo The bond itself sounds interesting but I don't really get the purpose of it. Eagerly awaiting details...
Basically, we want to sell a few Utus for isk so we can give isk to various parties that participated in our alliance tournament victory. In order to get the best prices and ensure they go to the right people we are going to have to take time over selling them. So we've decided to raise a bond to provide immediate funds which will then be repaid through Utu sales over a longer period.

Originally by: General Klink The interest you need to pay would eat up any higher price you might get from waiting longer
For us this bond is more about timing than cost. We would like to satisfy our obligations to alliance members swifty and we would like to take our time selling the Utus. If it costs us a little extra to do so, we're fine with that. We don't believe this will end up costing us more, but even if we are proved wrong on that point it is of little consequence.
Originally by: Mme Pinkerton a word of caution: would you offer to invest in this venture (given the spare details we know atm) if it were not presented by Bad Bobby?
This offering is on behalf of HYDRA RELOADED (I am aware how easy it is to miss this^^) and not on behalf of Bad Bobby. Alliance affiliations change over time and there is no guarantee that Bad Bobby will still be a member of HYDRA by the time the buy-back for these bonds is scheduled.
We are not intending to run this bond for a long duration. It is going to be a few months, not like my other bonds that have been running for years and are essentially open ended. This is going to be a short term bridging loan by comparison.
I very much doubt I will exit HYDRA RELOADED in that time, since I am the CEO of TDRS as well as a member of Genos Occiderre. My intention is to stick with both corps and the alliance for the long term.
You are right though, this bond is for HYDRA RELOADED and not just for me. However, aside from myself, the main person that will be handling the isk, debt and Utu's will be Garmon The Warlord Of Truth (by whatever name you wish to call him) who is very well known and I'm sure that TornSoul will attest to the fact that he is a trustworthy debtor.
Originally by: Charles37 All that's been posted so far is some fun marketing hype and I don't think anyone was seriously prepared to toss their money at Bad Bobby/Hydra without any additional information.
Quite right. This thread is just to get you warmed up for the main event. Since we can't launch the bond until we have the ships to repay it with. It does however give me an oppertunity to discuss the bond with you all before launching, in the way I usually do, even if the presentation differs a little.

Originally by: Boogie Bobby Surely the initial interest from collectors would be enough to pad the coffers
It will indeed. This is why we are only planning to run the bond for a fairly short duration as we expect to have the isk to repay it fairly soon.
However, the longer we take to repay/reward our alliance members the more angst builds up. A lot of people put a lot of isk into our tournament effort and many of those people did not really have the isk to spare. We do not want to rush selling these ships. The bond takes all the time pressure out of the equation and allows us to do the right thing in our own time.
Originally by: Boogie Bobby If it was anyone else I'd think this was nothing more than a publicity stunt.
Of course, this thread IS a publicity stunt. But the bond will be 100% pure and good.

Originally by: cosmoray From above it looks like the price of each ship is 30B, at least one sells instantly (Trinity). Why do they need much more immediately.
We are looking at something in the region of 100b and that would only cover our immediate needs. So yes we are planning to sell a handfull of Utus to cover the bond and a few more to cover costs that can wait a little longer. Timing, like I said, is the key factor here. We want the isk now and we want to sell the Utus over time, we are willing to pay a precentage to achieve that.
Originally by: SetrakDark Makes perfect sense to me. The difference between firesale and maximum price could be 5-10b or 15-30%.
Exactly. We do not wish to repeat the mistakes of previous AT winners, we would prefer to handle our Utus like CO2 handled their Frekis.
Originally by: SetrakDark sellout 3% bonds in < 24 hours; and then buy back bonds as you sell ships.
Precisely.

Originally by: Breaker77 So that means your alliance will have the balls to field them
Clearly. We are looking forward to fielding them in roaming gangs and in future tournaments. Garmon will probably be soloing in one as soon as CCP hand them over to him.
Originally by: Breaker77 Go Go 2nd place sellouts!
We could not disappoint our Pandemic Legion overlords.

The bond is going to be 100b @ 3%.
There will be 1000 bonds available at 100m per bond.
Principle and interest will be secured by 10 Utu's held by Chribba.

Thanks for your reservations! That totals to 141.7b by my count.
Once the ships have been made available I will make the final arrangements with Chribba. Once that is confirmed I will start collecting the isk. Hopefully we will not be kept waiting long.

Please send your isk to Count MonteCarlo.

I would like to take this oppertunity to thank CCP Claw, without his tireless efforts and tremendous dedication we would not have these fine vessels of war with which to secure these funds.

Originally by: Hel O'Ween It seems that they forgot that they took reservations and were filling the bond just up as people sent them ISK.
Confirming that Garmon fails at bonds, at reading and pretty much everything else.
He's welsh you see and if it doesn't involve sheep or male voice choirs they just don't have a clue.

Originally by: Count MonteCarlo If people are buying them at that price then there's nothing unrealistic about it
Also, interest sent, I lost track of time and ended up sending the isk one day late , please forgive me
And it's now 2 days late this month
/me grabs popcorn
Garmon's a bit busy in RL atm so sorry for the delay. Interest will be paid, he won't risk losing 10 Utus.
